FortiSIEM VM Local Virtual Disk Max size

Hi 

 

Actually, I want to create a Supervisor VM (all in one), and to allocate 2 TB of Data Disk (Local Virtual Disk), 2 TB is the max virtual disk size that VMware supports, I want to know, is there any issue from FortiSIEM side to accept this capacity ?

 

Thanks in advance

From a FortiSIEM perspective, there should not be any issue with accepting a 2 TB data disk on a Supervisor VM in a VMware environment. FortiSIEM is designed to handle large amounts of data and can scale based on the available resources.

However, it's important to ensure that your FortiSIEM deployment meets the necessary system requirements for the anticipated workload and data storage. Factors such as CPU, memory, and disk I/O performance should be considered to ensure optimal performance.

Additionally, you may want to consult the FortiSIEM documentation or contact Fortinet support for specific recommendations and best practices regarding storage capacity and performance optimization in your environment.

 

Regards,

Actually, I've tried, somehow when deploy a VM with more than 512G we need more CPU and RAM to mitigate /data/sdx formatting failure this is my experiment so far
